Features: "The Sound of Broken Hearts – Post-War Iraq Interview Records" authentically documents the inner journey of Xinhua News Agency journalist Huang Jingwen during his ten months in Iraq. In 2003, he volunteered to go, carrying the imagined image of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, stepping into the land now shrouded in smoke and fire. He didn’t have time to observe what had happened here before, but instead witnessed the vast desert, the endless (desolate wastelands), and countless exhausted refugees traveling long distances without aid, struggling for food and shelter. Today, Huang Jingwen describes the real post-war Iraq from the perspective of a Chinese journalist. This book serves as both a witness to history and a reflection of a journalist’s unavoidable thoughts in the face of war. The book is accompanied by images, featuring over 200 excellent photographs that vividly recreate the full picture of post-war Iraq.
